I have a page where the label I am dynamically passing from database.
I have a dropdown menu with 3 values and I want to make sure when I select any of the values and click on submit, my selected value should be updated on the Page label. The problem I am currently facing is for every refresh I am able to see the update value and can't we make it possible without any page refresh??I already used refreshVariable but didn't work. Please let me know your inputs.
Thanks.

Do you mean the label of a page in a site? Can you share some screenshots and code snippets of what you already tried so far?
Yes I do. For every change in the dropdown I can see the corresponding values are being reflected in the backend but what's happening is, in the label of a page in a site, the data is not being refreshed or fetched every time my "userStatus" value from the backend gets modified. Iterating my requirement: when "userStatus" gets modified then I need to change the label status of a page in a site using the below code.
I think that the expression to define the label of a page in a site does not support any kind of refresh behaviour.
Peter Lewis, do you know more about this?
So according to my understanding, the real-time behaviour doesn't exists in Appian so far. Please correct me if I am wrong.
What do you mean with "the real-time behaviour"?
Asynchronous nature of the page label. Here in my case, if I change a dropdown value, it should get reflected immediately in the label of a page in a site, instead I can see the choicevalue that I selected after I reload the browser tab or toggle between other pages in site.
Very much doubt this is supported anywhere outside of an interface (page names, record filters, record actions etc.)
This is how the interface evaluation lifecycle works in Appian:
https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.3/SAIL_Performance.html
And this is restricted to Interface design objects. Expression code used elsewhere has a different means of refresh behaviour.
BTW, what kind of user interaction do you want to implement here?
When I select any of the choice label, my write to data store entity service is making the changes in the database immediately. Isn't it possible to make sure upon every change of the userStatus corresponding to logged in user, label of the page gets modified?
No.
I still wonder what user interaction you are aiming for.
I'm not aware of any way of updating the label of a site page based on an interaction from within the page without a hard refresh. Like Stefan said though, can you talk more about what you're trying to achieve? What are the labels? Why do they need to be refreshed? In scenarios like this there are often other approaches that can achieve a similar outcome even if they aren't exactly what you specified.
